 Ryan Shay 1979 - 2007 You are not forgotten.
Each mile you are
remembered. Distance community feels the void by John Niyo / The Detroit News (excerpted)
Shay, 28, one of the most decorated high school track athletes in Michigan history and one of eight siblings in a family of running enthusiasts, collapsed and died less than six miles into Saturday's 26.2-mile race. Shay's father, Joe, said doctors had told him the cause of death likely was cardiac arrest. Ryan Shay had been diagnosed with an enlarged heart as a teenager, and recently a doctor had told him he might need a pacemaker later in life. He had a resting heart rate of 25-30 beats per minute -- barely half that of a normal adult. "The thing that made him such a great runner," Joe Shay said, "may have been what killed him." Shay's parents, both of whom coach the track and cross country teams in Central Lake, weren't in New York for the trials. They were on their way to the state cross-country championships in Brooklyn, Mich., when they got the terrible news. Monday, November 5, 2007 www.detnews.com |

Dropping five pounds will make you healthier and faster--
as long as you have them to lose
By Amby Burfoot
"Some runners don't worry much about their weight. they think: I run, therefore I can eat a cow for dinner. However, these same runners will gain 3.3 pounds per decade, according to a recent analysis of 4,700 midlife male runners from the National Runners' Health Study. That's not a lot, but it does add up, and the gain strikes even those running more than 40 miles a week. The same runners also gained three-quarters of an inch around the waist every decade--goodbye six-pack abs!
I've always monitored my body weight closely, believing I have an American birthright to obsess over it, just like Oprah, Jared, and millions of others. I also figure there are two solid reasons to get on the scale every Saturday morning: I want to find and maintain my healthiest weight, and I also want to determine my fastest weight. I suspect I'm not the only runner who's interested in these two.
Twenty years ago, when reading some early studies on body mass index (BMI) and longevity, I cringed. People of my BMI--I'm relatively tall and skinny, with a BMI around 21.0--were dying younger than others a little heavier than I. (You can quickly determine your own BMI using the tool in the Nutrition & Weight Loss channel on runnersworld.com.)"
